Although I get to an actual beach about twice a year, I’ve been a fan of board shorts ever since I bought my first pair from Roxy in elementary school. Over a decade later, surf-inspired fashions are back in the fashion spotlight more than ever, as seen on the runway and the pages of Teen Vogue!

My most exciting swim find of late is the website Shortomatic.com, where starting in October you can actually design your very own pair of well-made, one-of-a-kind board shorts with whatever prints and colors you would like for just $129!! That’s slightly more expensive than a pair at the mall, but certainly not as pricey as the designer versions that will be selling come Spring! Inspired by classic Hawaiian prints, the lovely pair of shorts above were customized for us for a shoot.
